About this experience
A private walking tour to explore one of the most historic neighborhoods of New York City – Brooklyn Heights with Dumbo and the Brooklyn Bridge. During the Tour, we will enjoy unparalleled views over the Manhattan Skyline and the New York Bay right from the Brooklyn Promenade Park. We will be walking along tree-lined streets with some of the most gorgeous townhomes in the city and we will learn how Brooklyn Heights transformed over the past 200 years. We will have plenty of opportunities for photos and to learn how this area, and the city, has changed throughout the centuries adapting to new challenges. A tour that can be equally enjoyed by first-time and returning visitors as it focuses on hidden gems, fun facts and anecdotes. To close our tour, as we cross the bridge, we will learn what it took to build the first suspension bridge in the world.
